  Trump: "If Abdul and the Democrats win, they will open the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadis to our shores, creating a nightmare of violence and terror until you cannot even have a Christmas."

  Just dropped my husband off at the airport. He's off to visit his family in the Midwest for a couple of days. Wish him luck, because without it, he's liable to come back home freshly traumatized.

  Happy Lammas to those who celebrate! I've made my bread, had a margarita, and taken stock of my progress on various skills.

  I was surprised to see there were PARROTS outside one of the restaurants in town when we went grocery shopping today. They were at a table set up to promote an animal rescue that included all kinds of birds, and we got to pet and hold them while they explained to us what they do. They were partnered with the restaurant tonight, and 20% of every bill went to the rescue, so we decided we would grab some dinner before we went grocery shopping. I love when life throws me these fun little diversion...

  The sheets were still in the wash yesterday afternoon, so we had our afternoon delight on the floor instead. 😋 It wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be - I suppose I've still got some youth in me somewhere, lol.

  Pagan Meet-up was SUPER fun today! There weren't a lot of people there today, but we had some GREAT conversations about our practices, our spiritual beliefs, our plans for upcoming holidays, etc.

  Pooka worried me immensely while she was recovering from her spay surgery, but she's fully recovered now! #caturday #catsofmastodon

  I was today years old when I learned that the Nickelodeon Studios in Florida closed on my birthday about 5 years after I visited with my family in 2000. At the time of that visit, I was particularly interested in the time capsule that they had buried in 1992, because that was supposed to be OPENED on my birthday too, in 2042. Apparently that time capsule has been relocated to the animation studio in LA. At least I wouldn't have to go to Florida again to see it opened now! 😅

  We bought a blanket at this year's Coupeville Water Festival, and it was SO PRETTY I had to hang it as a tapestry/curtain over the odd window between my office and the living room.

  I think this whole Reckless Ben Vs. BAM situation resonates with so many people because it sets on FULL display the values of our capital-centered justice system. At its core, it's an outgrowth of the colonial attitude that spawned it, an attitude at the core of Western patriarchal society that gives white Christian moneyed men the impression that they are entitled to ownership of all the wealth and resources around them. They've convinced themselves that the people to which those resour...

  My phone makes the most BAFFLING autocorrections. Turning correctly spelled words into other correctly spelled words, turning the pronoun "I" into other random capital letters, random capitalizations... It's getting worse too. This very post I've had to retype at least five points, and I have to read every little message several times to make sure it didn't change something weird. LLMs are probably going to age even worse.

  Grimalkin has that back leg wrapped around Pooka again.

  I've been invited to a Midsummer ritual this year! It'll be my first one with others, and I'm slightly nervous as a result. But I've been hanging out with the hosts, who are super cool, so it should be a blast!

  Well, doesn't THIS just sum up certain political cults nicely? "A madman will always think you're trying to cheat him, but a fanatic doesn't care. He'll give you everything he owns to get to the end of the world because he knows he's not coming back." - The Last Uncharted Sky, by Curtis Craddock #bookstodon #reading #vaguepost

  Ten years ago, I made my first post on my Manga Snark blog! Kinda wild that I kept the thing going for a whole decade, but I guess it's one of those things that I couldn't let go all these turbulent years.
